        Thanks for coming, lugnut. Someone has to teach them. Hope to see you there...!

                In honor of Seth Appert, John Burke, and their staffs, today is 5 October 2013.
                There are 0 days until RPI's next game.



                This is based upon 5 October 2013 for the start of next season.

                  The Huskies are a veteran team. Last year they lost the CIS University Cup championship game to the University of New Brunswick 2-0, and the last UNB goal was as empty-netter. However they are notoriously slow starters - most years they have a poor to average preseason, don't look great in their first couple of games, their coach calls them out in the media, they start working and pull their heads out of their posteriors, and by Christmas they're battling for first or second place in the AUS conference.

                  If they follow their normal script, they may not look very impressive today. Hopefully not.

                  When they're clicking, they like to play "below the other team's goal line", to quote SMU head coach Trevor Stienberg. They forecheck like crazy. They usually get stellar goaltending. Stienberg is a very good situational coach, and can make in-game adjustments that can frustrate puck-possession teams like UNB.

                  One intangible is that one of SMU's assistant coaches, Tom Lee, is back in cancer treatment this week after it being in remission for several years. Radiation, chemo, bone marrow transplant - the whole deal.

                  Btw, in Canada SMU is pronounced to rhyme with "stew", never S-M-U. Also, if you're being pedantic, it is always written "Saint Mary's" and never "St. Mary's".

                    Thanks for the info. I look forward to a good test for both teams tonight.
                    Loyality means sticking with a thing in good and bad times. Not willing to do that, stay home, I got this.

                      Actually it is because of the agency budgets (transportation for umma) and whether or not their employees are considered essential. The other academies, including CG are open. UMMA is closed and not conducting classes or anything else. Coaches are not allowed on campus.

                        Being pedantic, I would have written the game thread differently had I known, but I am not going to delete it and start anew.

                            Thanks as always for the insight FF. Sorry to hear of Coach Lee's health challenges ... all the best to him and his fight.

                                OK-we win our exhibition game. A little discussion-how did everyone feel the freshmen played? What should be the defensive pairings? Who looked like they need a bit more time to get ready and who looked like they were really ready to start the real season?
